Topic: Jandy Pool Control (Read 15688 times)

Yeah, this may be a little tricky. There don't appear to be setpoints (see screenshot attached). If I want to change the heater settings, I have to go to the virtual keypad and increase or decrease the temp. I think this may be because I have the auto heater control set up where I have a temp set for pool and a temp set for spa and then in that mode, the Goldline tells the heater when to come on and when to turn off based on the current temp. Would love to be able to control it via the plugin though.

One other thing I noticed missing is the ON/OFF for the SuperChlor setting. I have a Salt Water pool with a Chlorine Generator.

For heaters that is the normal operation where there are different setpoints based upon the body configuration of the pool (either pool or spa mode). Both Pentair and Jandy operate this way with Pentair adding a heating source component to switch it between solar, heatpump, or traditional heater depending on outside temperature. It appears that the Goldline controller is similar to some of the features on the Jandy where they may only be controlled by navigating around the menus. In looking at the Autelis forum it appears that is a Hayward limitation which makes it really ugly to get or set the values.

As for the superchlor, get the results of http://<your autelis ip>/chem.xml. Hopefully it is not a 404. If it is then control of the SWG might only be limited to the SuperChlor function.

I just re-read your reply - are you saying that it is possible to get a SuperChlor button on the interface? There is one that turns it on and off in Autelis but doesn't come through on the plugin in Vera. My normal chlorine settings are pretty static but I often do turn on SuperChlor when the pool is heavily used. That would be nice to have that feature available.

I looked at the source for the Autelis Equipment page and found that the button is very close to what you recommended but included another key word. I entered the below and it turns on and off the SuperClor

Thanks again for taking the time to work through this with me. I created a virtual switch and created scenes with the code you referenced. I also added the macro in the Pool switch and it is working well. The next thing I have to figure out is how to change the switch status when it is turned on or off using the AquaPod or the keypad.

Well, I made the mistake (perhaps) of updating to the latest firmware and are getting some weird results. I had the Autelis Pool Plugin installed and working for about a month but after the firmware update, the App disappeared from my Installed Apps list. The devices that it had created were still there and working but the app was gone.

I just reinstalled the app and it created a new device (with new device number) but did not pick up the other previously created devices. Are there any options for re-associating the previously created devices with the newly installed app? I am not sure if this is causing my problems with other apps but my alerts have stopped sending and I am thinking it might be related.

I just came in to report intermittent issues with Jandy Pool Control Plugin with f/w 1.7.3831 on my VeraPlus. I updated the f/w on Thursday and the unit was issue prone until yesterday after a nearly 2-hour phone support conversation, including Vera Support in a remote session on my computer. They finally got it restored but a couple of Z-Wave devices (FortrezZ MIMO2 +, dual relay that run my pump speeds, actually) needed to be reset to get them responding again. The Pool Control Plugin has worked and then it shows it is not connected. I re-enter the Autelis Credentials and save to no avail but I can connect to Autelis at it's own IP address without issue.

Here's some screen grabs but what else do you need to check it out, Robert?

I upgraded my Vera3 and Plus to the latest fw. Not without having to reset to factory settings. What a PITA and a crappy way to burn a Sunday. Anyhow the I am not experiencing your issue on the Pentair or the mock Jandy system. Could you please capture a log from the time it does a poll to Autelis and post it here?
